Brookhaven Cherry Blossom 5k

Chase Peachtree qualifying times beneath a canopy of pink and white at the **Brookhaven Cherry Blossom 5k on Saturday, March 21, 2026**. This beloved metro Atlanta tradition, staged in the lush expanse of Blackburn Park, delivers far more than a fast, certified course and coveted AJC Peachtree Road Race qualification. Every stride supports Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, with 100% of race proceeds flowing directly to the hospital's essential work—a philanthropic model that transforms this 5k into one of Georgia's most impactful charity runs. Early bird pricing disappears February 11, but the opportunity to run for a cause remains open until race day, with on-site registration available for late deciders.
The Cherry Blossom 5k distinguishes itself through intentional inclusivity. Competitive runners launch at 8:00 AM sharp, chasing age group hardware and personal bests. Walkers depart immediately after, strollers welcomed, families celebrated. The course winds through Brookhaven's signature residential beauty, its springtime bloom providing a natural cathedral for communal effort. Teams compete for prizes, dogs spectate from the sidelines, and every finisher registered by March 12 secures the commemorative tee. This is running at its most neighborly—serious about speed when speed matters, serious about welcome always.

An extraordinary coalition of sponsors—from Margaritaville to Mr. Mister Mosquito, Sweetwater Brewing to Floor & Decor—underscores the event's deep roots in Atlanta's business and civic community. Packet pickup details, parking logistics, and the precise 5k course map await participants via the official website. Fundraising leaderboards track individual and team efforts, with top supporters earning well-deserved recognition. Whether you're gunning for a PR, pushing a double stroller through the park, or simply seeking a meaningful Saturday morning ritual, the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom 5k offers a singular proposition: a fast 5k that leaves children's healthcare stronger than you found it. Register now, form a team, and run for the kids who need Atlanta at its best.
